We had a great stay. Melissa and Kurt gave us detailed instructions on how to get there and which restaurants to enjoy. During our stay they were available for quick email correspondence and more wonderful tips. The apartment is sizeable but still super cozy and has an awesome view which can only be improved upon by going to the roof of the building as Kurt pointed out.
The are is great too. It is quiet but within walking distance of all the hustle and bustle around Khao San Road and close to a jetty for quick boat transport.
